<h4>How iOS Smart App Banner Works</h4>
Understanding the Dual Approach:
1. iOS Native Smart App Banner (Safari Only) 
When enabled, this feature adds Apple’s official <code>apple-itunes-app</code> meta tag to your website. This creates the native iOS Smart App Banner that appears automatically at the top of Safari on iOS devices.
Important: iOS Smart Banner Behavior 
* Position: Always appears at the TOP of the page (controlled by iOS Safari, not customizable) 
* Design: Uses Apple’s native design (cannot be customized) 
* Display: Automatically managed by Safari (we cannot control when/how it appears) 
* Dismissal: Users can dismiss it, and Safari remembers their preference
Benefits of iOS Native Smart App Banner: 
* Seamless integration with iOS ecosystem 
* High conversion rates due to familiar Apple interface 
* Automatic app detection and “Open” button if app is already installed 
* Professional appearance matching iOS design standards 
* Trusted by users as it’s Apple’s official system
2. Custom Smart App Banner (All Browsers) 
Our custom banner works on ALL mobile browsers and provides extensive customization options.
Intelligent Fallback System: 
* Safari on iOS + iOS Smart Banner enabled: Shows native Apple Smart App Banner (top position, Apple-controlled) 
* Chrome/Firefox/Opera/Edge on iOS + iOS Smart Banner enabled: Shows custom banner (your positioning choice) 
* Any browser + iOS Smart Banner disabled: Shows custom banner (your positioning choice) 
* Android devices: Always shows custom banner (your positioning choice)
This ensures every mobile visitor sees an appropriate app promotion banner regardless of their browser choice, while respecting Apple’s native implementation in Safari.
